Team Canada kept just one 2011 draft-eligible player for its 2011 World Junior Championship entry, and today Team USA did the Canadians one better.
USA Hockey’s 22-man roster announced this morning includes no players eligible for next June’s draft in Minnesota. The defending gold-medal champions should be loaded for a potential repeat, but amateur scouts can now focus even more on Sweden and the other European entries.

BOSTON - The Bruins put forth an effort tonight in their 3-0 loss to Anaheim that made it look they were the team from Disneyland.

BOSTON — Forrest Gump’s Bruins were at it again tonight.
You never know what you’re going to get with this team period to period — never mind game to game — and what the Bruins produced against Anaheim at TD Garden was enough to make a box of chocolates taste like week-old liver.
